well, this weekend the custom pipe will be done. it's got part of the RM pipe for the back end, but it's all custom in the front... with a shiny new FMF Shorty silencer serving as a stinger... I got a bunch of misc. SGP parts including a new base cylinder gasket because my Versah POS broke when I took the cylinder off the second time... well, when I got the SGP unit it was SO much better than the versah... I will never go aftermarket again with gaskets... the versah is like tracing paper and the SGP is a nice tough unit with rubber seals around the base... tiiiite! lol I don't care about the change in compression, if I want compression I'll pay the cash (not much) for the head to get shaved instead of risking a leak... :b

well, I'm waiting for my shorty and it should be arriving in the mail in a couple of days... I was hoping to get it around the same time that my pipe was finished, but eh... what ya gonna do about it? I'm in no hurry, I don't wanna race anymore... yet... gotta do some suspension/frame work... I've had a hard-on about gusseting for such a long time I think that I might just have to do that this winter... or whenever the motor blows... which will hopefully be soon so I can get an LA sleeve 300 kit... (my new dream part now that I got a shorty)

also: what do you guys think is better? an Axcaliber or Durablue Eliminator? I'm flirting with the idea of getting one or the other but I'm not in the mood to be puting much more money in the quad... I wanna blow the rest of my cash on some kind of turbo-project. (car)

but, you never know... maybe after I ride it around a little I'll be in the mood to go nuts on the rest of the project and break the bank...

 

good to hear the project is coming along.
as for the axle, go with Lonestar or RPM, at least they back the product more from what i hear. i'll be selling the X-33 eventually, i just bought an axcalibur.. the deal was right. plus i feel a little more confident in the LSR unit, even though i'd probly never take other to its limit, i feel better having a better axle under it. plus, new parts is always good no matter what it is.

 

does la sleve maje big bore sleves for 250 quadracers and if so whats the address web address

 

Mr Justin Jones. your gonna tell me that you waited this long to get a pipe for your quad. Mark could of built you one when I last talked to you about three months ago. And just my 2 cents. It sounds like you've spent alot of time in this thing and maybe a little money but before you do your big bore plan, or even your rear axel try to get the thing to run first and see if its worth it. Mines Done I've raced at acouple of races this year already until I broke my hand. I know now what has to be changed without guessing. And from what I heared, "it could be wrong " because I never met you, but a big bore kit with this quad might be a little to much for you to handle.

 

Great, here we go again with the whole pipe fight.....

 

argh... I should have just posted this at Macdizzy...

mark doesn't know **** about pipes... LMAO! he wanted to use LT pipe parts? WTF? yeah... real cool there! :b and I SO want to deal with Mark or join "QRM" after he called me out last time we spoke about this.

I've posted this before but I guess it escaped you:



<< An engine's exhaust port can be thought of as a sound generator. Each time the piston uncovers the exhaust port (which is cut into the side of the cylinder in two-strokes), the pulse of exhaust gases rushing out the port creates a positive pressure wave which radiates from the exhaust port. The sound will be be the same frequency as the engine is turning, that is, an engine turning at 8000 rpms generates an exhaust sound at 8000 rpms or 133 cycles a second--hence, an expansion chamber's total length is decided by the rpm the engine will reach, not displacement. >>



YAY! now I'll just throw together some jobber that hasn't even been thought out and expect it to work! Its kinda nauseating when you think about it.. lol the RM engine shares no characteristics with the LT engine (obviously) so why then would he use parts from the pipe? *shrug* here... read this, it's common knowledge but I guess Mark knows better... even though last time I posted that he just STFU...

I'm not in hurry to get it running (my dad made me take it to Darcy's because the bike was collecting dust) And I'm waiting to blow it up before I get a big bore kit... actually, I said that in first post... Thanks for reading, Tazz. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I'm not planning to bore it out, it's just that if the Wiseco goes than I'm not going to waste time buying another, I'll just shell out another 100 or 200 bucks and get a 300 kit. No big deal, the Wiseco will probably last me a year or two...

I'm not really into quads that much anymore and Darcy was f*cking fast with it... he's already done and is just waiting for the shorty to come in the mail... plus he's just a great guy with a kickass twin turbo 454 chevy project... class act.... unlike somebody else who claims to make pipes...

Oh, and you're right, this quad is way too much for me to handle, let alone the 300 kit. I totally accept it... I'm just stupid like that. As for time and money invested? LOL! yeah right!

tom18801, I don't know what the LA sleeve website is but why don't you get off your *** and run it through google? lol, you could have found the website in the same time you wasted making that comment. no offense or anything. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

dual-sporter, Thanks for the feedback on the axle, but in retrospect I don't think I'll need an axle... not until I break the stocker... which will probably never happen... hopefully. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

oh, and gusseting is a free mod for me next time I take the quad apart... plus, a nice powder-coating job for the frame would be nice so why not gusset it after I strip the paint off?





yes, that's why.

 

Mr Justin Jones, once again you choose to butt heads. Yeah you may be able to talk the talk from reading all these web sites, but do you know what there talking about? You cant walk the walk. Your just a kid. Who are you trying to kid, a big bore kit for 2 to 3 hundred dollars out here in winnipeg. LMAO. Maybe when pigs can fly. I could almost agree that Mark don't know s**t but I wont. For someone that knows s**t thats actually one interesting quad he has. Last time I checked he had an IRS rear suspension that he fabricated himself but your right he knows s**t. Aswell as the rear IRS I could of sworn that he had to fabricate his own exhaust pipe but your right what does he know. He also owns his own company were he fabricates strong arm A-arms. Just cuz he said he was gonna use lt pipe parts to fab. it does not mean it wouldnt of preformed alright. Yes I'll agree you wont get maximum horsepower out of the one he would of built but I am willing to bet it would of worked fine. As far as QRM is conserned Its not Marks club. Its for people that are serious about racing in Manitoba. It just shows what you know. we had to get a club going so we could so that there is an interest in MX racing for quads. Other wise no tracks were gonna let us race. We went from no tracks to 4. hopefully next year it will grow to all the tacks and more competitors. Maybe yours will finally be seen at the track racing next year.

 

I have not chose to butt heads. you came on here scrutinizing Darcy's work compared to Marks' and 'added your 2 cents'. The thread wasn't even close to a fight before you got here.

Racing with you guys? Don't count on it. Everyone not in QRM that I've spoken to has told me not to join. I could just race out east in the boonies, anyway... It wouldn't cost me anything and the competition is faster... they're not sponsored by HSD but somehow they get along.

As I already said, I don't want to argue about this but if YOU want to butt heads then read the sig... Darcy laser cuts computer-designed sections for where the RM pipe wouldn't fit... he didn't saw up some old trashed LT pipe... Darcy's prices were cheap, too and everyone knows he makes a quality product because even guys down from the states and BC get their pipes made by him for their high-dollar sleds. And the high-dollar roadrace bikes, too... The pipes he makes are smooth and the welds are flat... unlike the pipe Mark would have made...

Mark may have an IRS quad, but it weighs over 400 pounds and is really just a rolling advertisement... he doesn't do too good at the races from what I see... Bad example.

oh, and if you're so 'serious about racing', then why are you racing 2 races out of 6 rounds... and getting 10th and 11th?

Of course I know that the little club is not Marks', but he IS the founder... President is Sean's dad and Sean is the treasurer... I don't really pay much attention to that stuff, but I still know what I'm talking about.

I don't see what's so far fetched about sleeving it out to 300... I already spent 150 on the piston/rings/circlips/bearing and another 150 on all the new gaskets/seals... I don't think a sleeve is that much of a stretch... actually, I wasn't even thinking of sleeving it until Darcy suggested it... beats re-nic-a-siling. he's right on that one after his years and years experience building engines.

 

&quot;oh, and if you're so 'serious about racing', then why are you racing 2 races out of 6 rounds... and getting 10th and 11th?&quot;


So I didn't finish in the top spot. My goals for this year were just to finish and get the feel of this sport and to work the buggs out of the machine.

1... Did I ever mention that I was the fastest???????????? No


2... When did I mention anything bad about this so called Darcy guy??? Never


When you get a little older you will relize what A full time job is, not to mention I am away from home 4 out of seven days a week, plus what family obligations mean. So as much as I love to race, family does come first. Oh and did I forget to mention the broken Hand. The quad is kind of hard to race with one hand. Like Mark said. I've raced in many different events. from mud bogs to drag racing sleds. I even raced mx when I as 15/16 with a dirt bikes. So if you want to call out my abilities to race, come on over Justin, see what trophies look like and most important what an lt250r looks like running. and if you nice I might just even let you ride it (Yeah Right)
